What is your favorite movie? The Third Man or Amadeus

What is in your CD player right now? Sadly, my 1993 Corolla only has a cassette player.
Best Invention of your lifetime: The Frisbee (Technically the Wham-O Frisbee was patented in 1964, a year before I was born. Yet it still brings me great joy on a sunny afternoon)
If you were stranded on a remote island and you could choose three items to have with you, what three items would you choose? To survive, I’d have to bring along an axe, a deep cast iron skillet and flint to start a fire. But I’d rather have my wife, a bible, and a Frisbee. Of course, it seems to make most sense just to bring along a large fishing boat filled with enough fuel to get back to the nearest place with cell phone coverage.
